J&J Snack Foods Corp. has entered into an agreement to acquire the frozen handheld business of ConAgra Foods.

The transaction includes ConAgra’s dough-enrobed products sold under the Patio, Hand Fulls, Holly Ridge Bakery, Villa Taliano, Top Picks and private label brands, with manufacturing facilities in Holly Ridge, N.C., and Weston, Ore. The deal is expected to close next month.
